Ofrendas are shrines to honor those who have died and you leave flowers and gifts to honor them. This picture is of vera, an artist and friend who lived in Brazil. She is holding 1 of her favorite cats. I never met her in person, but we were friends for 3 years. I know, that doesn't sound like much time to form a closeness to someone but we really did connect. She died of cancer(3 years ago) . Too young. This was part of a shrine some art friends made to honor those special people in our lives. It was part of a Michael De Meng workshop.
So she had her crown and she had her flowers.
I know she has her wings, you just can't see them!
